Creative Lead Job at Gradial in Seattle

Gradial helps marketers and creatives move from idea to execution faster. Our platform turns intent into action, automating website updates, design system migrations, and ongoing content optimization while preserving brand integrity across every touchpoint.

Backed by leading investors, we’re building software that adapts to the user, not the other way around. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and solve hard problems from first principles.

The Role
As

CreativeLead

you’ll own and shape the visual and brand identity across every touchpoint—from website and product marketing to motion, social, decks, and more. This is not a maintenance role; you’ll translate complex concepts like AI agents, automation, and orchestration into clear, human design, working closely with Product and Go‑To‑Market teams to ensure brand messaging aligns with product reality.

What You’ll Own

Shape and evolve Gradial’s visual identity across all brand touchpoints, including website, product marketing, email, decks, social, infographics, and motion explainers.

Translate complex technical ideas into brand‑aligned design that feels intuitive, modern, and human.

Partner closely with Product and GTM to keep brand, messaging and product reality always aligned.

Raise the bar on design quality, polish, clarity, and boldness across the company.

Move quickly while maintaining a high standard, knowing when to refine and when to ship.

Set and uphold an extremely high quality bar, pushing back when work doesn’t meet it.

Build and maintain strong visual systems that scale, not just one‑off assets.

What We Need

Strong design instincts and clear opinions, with the ability to articulate and defend design decisions.

Demonstrated experience building modern, intentional brands or products.

A systems‑oriented mindset: care about consistency, cohesion, and long‑term scalability.

Comfort starting from a blank page and navigating ambiguity.

Ability to operate independently without large teams, rigid processes, or perfect briefs.

What Matters Most

Taste – a sharp eye for what looks and feels right, consistently elevating the brand.

Clarity – turning complex ideas into intuitive, confident design.

Momentum – moving fast, shipping thoughtfully, and keeping work progressing without sacrificing quality.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

Embrace AI as a core tool for problem‑solving, creativity and scale.

Show a strong work ethic, high ownership and bias toward action.

Communicate with clarity and curiosity.

Thrive in fast‑paced, hyper‑growth environments where building beats maintaining the status quo.
